Tragedy was averted as no life was lost in the accident.

The Abia State Police Command has discovered another baby
factory at Umuabuwa village in Osisioma Local Government Area of the
state and consequently arrested its operator.

The
Imo State Police Command rescued pregnant girls aged 16 and above from an
illegal orphanage that operated in the guise of an NGO, November 2013
The baby factory popularly known as “Osu Abuwa” was allegedly run by Mrs. Comfort Osu Abu.
Mrs.
Abu, was using her home to harbor pregnant teenagers and women whose
children she sold to prospective buyers without following the due
process of child adoption as stipulated by law, was said to have been in
the illegal child trafficking business for many years.
The police
also arrested a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Blessing Iheanacho, for
allegedly conspiring to harbor a pregnant lady, Chidinma Okeke, at the
home with the intent of adopting her baby on delivery.
The couple,
said to have been childless after 18 years of marriage, were reported
to have contracted Chidinma to be pregnant and kept her at Comfort’s
home hoping to adopt her baby when she put to bed before police swoop on
the baby factory and arrested them.
While it was equally gathered
that a pregnant girl, Miss Ozuchi Chinasa, who was also harboured at
the home, was rescued during the raid, reports claimed that Chidinma had
been delivered of a baby boy in an undisclosed hospital in Aba.

Story of the famous Nigerian rapper Ice Prince, who has recently said in an interview that he had his first kiss at the age of 13, takes a new turn as he reveals how he lost virginity to an "aunty" also at age 13.

Speaking with Pulse, the performer said:"I
had my first kiss when I was 13…I had my first sexual encounter... It
wasn’t a sweet experience at all. I had this aunty, though we were not
related, she was just a neighbour who was living close to us, who came
into my room and slept with me... She just came into my room and just
forced me to do it with her."
Describing the whole thing as a "terrible experience", Ice Prince confessed that he was really scared.
He also added that, in his opinion, sex is not "that good" and that it is "over-rated".
Expressing his reluctance to speak on the issue, the celebrity concluded that he had not seen his first woman since then.

Parents of 24-year-old Chuang Yuan from China confessed to
chaining their son in his bedroom, because they had no other option to
stop him stealing.

Father
Wen Yuan put a concrete block in the young man's room, attached one
side of the chain to this block and tied the other side round his neck.
Wen
explained that he was afraid that his son, having passion for stealing,
might soon be jailed. According to the father, on many occasions he had
to compensate their neighbours and apologise for Chuang's actions.
When
the head of the family could not tolerate it any longer, he decided
that his son's freedom of movement needed to be restricted until he
learned his lesson.

According
to the information made available by Nigeriafilms, the Abia State born
actor is suffering from kidney failure and urgently needs to undergo a
kidney transplant surgery abroad.

Nigerians remember Chris Nkulor by his roles such movies as "Battle of Indemnity" (2007) and "Hidden Treasure" (2008), where he demonstrated scintillating acting.

Ancient sea turtle bones found 163 years apart are a perfect match. Photo courtesy Drexel University

At first, it was jokingly suggested that a partial ancient sea turtle
bone discovered in a New Jersey stream bed by an amateur paleontologist
in fall of 2012 was the missing half of a 163-year-old fossil housed at
the Academy of Natural Sciences at Drexel University.
The fossil, a humerus (the large upper-arm bone), was broken in half.
Could the missing half found by Gregory Harpel and donated to the New
Jersey State Museum actually be the other half of the bone from the same
ancient sea turtle that was discovered in 1849?
Scientists were determined to find out.Continue reading....

NEW YORK (AP) — Osama bin
Laden's son-in-law, the voice of fiery al-Qaida propaganda videotapes
after the Sept. 11 attacks, was convicted Wednesday of conspiring to
kill Americans for his role as the terror group's spokesman.

The verdict came after about six hours of
deliberation over two days in the case against Kuwaiti imam Sulaiman Abu
Ghaith, the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure to face trial on U.S. soil
since the attacks.
As a court deputy read the verdict aloud, Abu
Ghaith, listening to an Arabic interpreter through earphones, remained
composed as he had throughout the trial. Just before he was led from the
courtroom, he turned toward a spectator — a longtime friend from Kuwait
— and smiled.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said he hoped the verdict brought some measure of comfort to al-Qaida victims.
"He
was more than just Osama bin Laden's propaganda minister," Bharara
said. "Within hours after the devastating 9/11 attacks, Abu Ghaith was
using his position in al-Qaida's homicidal hierarchy to persuade others
to pledge themselves to al-Qaida in the cause of murdering more
Americans."
Defense attorney Stanley Cohen emerged from court promising to appeal.
Abu
Ghaith had testified during a three-week trial that he answered bin
Laden's request in the hours after the attacks to speak on the widely
circulated videos used to recruit new followers willing to go on suicide
missions like the 19 who hijacked four planes on Sept. 11, 2001.
"The storm of airplanes will not stop," Abu Ghaith warned in an October 2001 video that was played for the jury. Continue reading........

Popular Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwurah in a recent
interview revealed why she did not abandon her top music director son,
Clarence Peters.
Beautiful and Gifted (Mother and Son)
The beautiful actress who once revealed she got pregnant at the age of 17 was pregnant for Top Nigerian Fuji musician, Sir Shina Peters and the product of that child is Clarence Peters.
The
proud mother who doesn't hesitate to gush and praise her successful son
at any opportunity she gets, reveals her reason for not aborting the
pregnancy then:

"You
know what? It is not because Clarence is successful today. Clarence
knows the truth and those who are close to me know the truth. I didn’t
have Clarence because I was too helpless to get rid of his pregnancy. I
had three sets of friends: there was Dr. Ojikutu. When I was in the
University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University), he was ready to do
it, free of charge. There was St. Lawrence in Ibadan and St. Jude here
in Lagos.

But
each time, I said no. I lost my father when I was 11 and he left a
message that he was going to come back to me through my first kid.

So,
when I got pregnant, it kept ringing in my head that my father was
coming back to me. Even my ex- husband knew how much my father meant to
me. It was on his 30th anniversary that I was able to let go of the hurt
of his death. Having Clarence was deliberate. I just had the conviction
that my father was coming back. And from when he was born, everyone
calls him daddy, including my mum."

Naija rapper — Sinzu is known not to mess around with his daughter.

Malaysia Says Flight Ended in Ocean
The path of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
ended in the southern Indian Ocean, Prime Minister Najib Razak said at a
news conference in Kuala Lumpur.

PEARCE
AIR FORCE BASE, Australia — Malaysia’s prime minister said Monday that
further analysis of satellite data confirmed that the missing Malaysian
airliner went down in the southern Indian Ocean with its passengers and
crew. The announcement narrowed the search area but left many questions
unanswered about why it flew to such a remote part of the world.

Experts
had previously held out the possibility that the jet could have flown
north instead, toward Central Asia, but the new data showed that it
could have gone only south, said the prime minister, Najib Razak.

Mr.
Najib appeared eager to bring some finality to the families of the
passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, two-thirds of them Chinese
citizens. The families have grown increasingly angry about the lack of
clear information about the plane’s fate. The Boeing 777, with 227
passengers and 12 crew members on board, was headed from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing when it disappeared on March 8.

The
aircraft’s last known position, according to the analysis, “is a remote
location, far from any possible landing sites,” Mr. Najib said. “It is
therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that,
according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian
Ocean.” More after the cut.......

The United States Government has given more insights into the
looting of over $2billion from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by a
former Head of State, the late Gen. Sani Abacha, and some of his
children.
The US said Abacha secured 60 false security votes letters to draw money from the CBN.
More than $700million of the money was delivered to Mohammed Abacha in bags or boxes full of cash.
Some
of the cash transferred from the CBN, under the guise of security
votes, to foreign accounts included $1.1billion and £413 million (GBP)
in cash; $50,465,450; £3,500,000 GBP in traveller’s cheques; and .

$386,290,169.
In a document filed by the United States Department

US court document, which was exclusively obtained by our correspondent,
said in part: “Abacha together with Mohammed Sani Abacha, Bagudu and
others, systematically embezzled public funds worth billions of dollars
from the CBN on the pretext that the funds were necessary for national
security.

played a prominent role together with the Frontline states in supporting
the liberation movements in Southern Africa, including SWAPO of

Visually-impaired ace music composer, producer and singer,
Cobhams Asuquo, has revealed in an interview that he was a bully and
gang member growing up.
Responding to what it was like growing up for him, this is what he had to say;

"I
lived in the barracks and it was fun. Some people might see the
barracks as squalid, malignant and rough but it was my life. I loved it.
From a barracks at Jos to Ikeja Military Cantonment; I loved it. I am a
barracks boy and I am 100 per cent proud of that. I lived among
Nigerians from different tribes. It gave me a lot of perspectives and
insight into a lot of people’s lives.

"As a kid I was rough. I was stubborn and sometimes, I was a bully.

"I
did things that were big and bad enough to do. I was a gang leader in
many ways and my friends always listened to me. I told my friends things
because I was the one who listened to the radio the most, so they
believed me. Once, I told them that Babangida had intentions of becoming
a Field Marshal and I can remember all my friends saying all kinds of
things. Then I went home and my father explained to me that what he was
saying was that he had no intention of becoming a Field Marshal and I
went back to my friends to tell them what I just learnt and they still
believed.

"I was that kind of kid. I was influencial and I was outgoing and outspoken.

Public secondary schools in northeast Borno state have been
closed indefinitely following deadly attacks blamed on Boko Haram
Islamists, teachers and parents said Saturday.
The
closure reportedly affects 85 secondary schools, catering to some
120,000 students across the troubled state, a stronghold of the militant
sect waging a five year insurgency in Nigeria.
The murderous
group, whose name means “Western education is sinful” in the Hausa
language, has vowed to stop children attending school.
“We
reported to school on Friday last week (March 14) but to our shock the
principal of the school told us he had received orders from the ministry
of education to close down the school indefinitely,” teacher Suleiman
Gana told AFP.
“He (the principal) told us the decision affects
all public secondary schools in the state and was taken as a
precautionary measure to safeguard lives of teachers and students from
Boko Haram attacks,” Gana said.
A Borno state official confirmed the closure of the schools to AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Deadly
attacks blamed on Boko Haram have intensified since the turn of the
year, with some 700 killed in more than 40 attacks in 2014 according to
Human Rights Watch, making it one of the bloodiest years since the
insurgency began in 2009.
In the restive northeast, tens of
thousands have fled for their lives, either in fear of further attacks
or after militants razed their homes and businesses.
A wave of
attacks on education targets, including the slaughter of boarding school
students in their beds while they slept, has prompted international
condemnation.

Coordinationg
Minister for the Economy and Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
described as ridiculous and false the accusations according to which she
forged and faked documents to conceal the "missing" N24bn was missing
from the Police pension account.
In a statement issued on
Friday by Minister's Special Adviser on Communications, Dr.
Okonjo-Iweala says the money was not missing.
Okonjo-Iweala
condemned attempts by the Chairman of the House of Representatives
Committee on Public Accounts, Hon. Solomon Olamilekan, to spread such
false allegations. She has repeatedly explained to the Committee that
the money was an overpayment based on the demands of those trying to
steal from pension funds which was successfully blocked, and the money
was returned to the treasury.
These attempts are aimed to tarnish
the Minister's image, the statement reads, and at diverting the
public's attention from positive efforts to reform the problematic
pensions sector.
In her statement, the Minister notes the amount
in question was returned to the treasury even before the DG of Pension
Transitional Arrangement Department was appointed.
The Minister expressed readiness to take up the challenge posed by the Committee Chairman for a public discussion on the issue.

Colombia's most obese baby - who weighs the same as a

When an 84-year-old Brazilian woman went to the doctor
complaining of stomach cramps, they found a 44-year-old fetus still
inside of her.
The Daily Mail reports
that the unnamed woman had complained of dizziness and severe stomach
pains. Upon an x-ray, doctors found the 44-year-old fetus, referred to
as a “stone baby,” still outside her womb. It was estimated that the
fetus had been around 20 to 28-weeks-old.
The woman told doctors that she had been pregnant 44 years ago, but
when she experienced a lot of pain she went to see a witch doctor for
help. There were no traditional doctors available in her village. She
was given some medication and felt better, and when the pain stopped and
baby stopped moving, she thought she had aborted. Instead, the
44-year-old fetus remained in her body and her body adapted to having it
there. The x-ray clearly defined the ribs, spine, legs and arms of the
fetus.
The woman says she has no plans to remove the 44-year-old fetus, but
doctors hope she will change her mind so she can avoid any further
medical issues. Doctors seem amazed that she hadn't had any issues until
now. Though rare, stories like the woman with the 44-year-old fetus do
happen from time to time. Other recent incidences include an 82-year-old
woman from Bogota and a 92-year-old woman from China.

Kendall Jenner became a real fashion model at New York Fashion Week on Thursday, but at first, nobody even noticed.
"Kendall was unrecognizable. No one backstage knew who she was," an
insider told FOX411. "The photographers and backstage press ignored
her."
The 18-year-old reality starlet bared her chest when she walked the
runway for the Marc Jacobs show. Sporting a short wig and severe makeup,
Jenner walked the catwalk in a completely see-through long sleeve
V-neck sweater, sans bra.
Our source said that backstage before the show, Jenner was "relieved
that no on recognized her. She liked the fact that nobody could tell it
was her."
"Kendall didn't seem to want the attention," the source continued.
"Back when Paris Hilton did runway back in 2000, 2001, that's all she

A
35-year-old bus driver, Adeleke Adetayo, who was charged with sleeping
with his nine-year-old and 13-year-old daughters, has been sentenced by
the Family Court unit of an Ikeja Chief Magistrate’s Court to 14 years
imprisonment.(14 years????? What a world, he should be jailed for a life time with hard labour after this unforgivable crime)

Adetayo was reportedly arrested in July 2013 and his two daughters were rescued after a sexual abuse that lasted two years.
Following
his arrest, his children were sent to the Lagos State Children’s Home,
where they lamented that they had been scarred for life as a result of
the abuse they suffered from their father.
The six-month trial of Adetayo culminated in him finally pleading guilty to sexual assault of his children.
In
her judgement, Chief Magistrate A. Oshoniyi found Adetayo guilty of
sexual abuse and child defilement, sentencing him to seven years each
for the crime against each child.

The
clamp down on opposition parties took another dimension in Enugu on
Saturday as armed men suspected to be Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
thugs hijacked and burnt the All Progressives Congress, APC, membership
register.
The incident took place at Udi, the country home of Governor Sullivan Chime of the state.
A
source told Daily Post that collation of materials from the on-going
APC membership registration exercise was ongoing at the Udi collation
centre at Ninth Mile Corner when about 15 armed thugs barged into the
place and disrupted the exercise.
APC officials who narrowly
escaped from the centre at IFEPET Garden Ninth Mile, alleged that the
thugs were led by the factional chairman of PDP in Udi, Isaac Nwoye.
The thugs reportedly dumped the register in a nearby bush, soaked it with petrol and set it on fire.

The
entire South Campus of the University of Education Winneba, Ghana, was
thrown into a state of uproar as a level 100 student of the University
was discovered dead in a nearby uncompleted building.
Identified
as Solomon Obeng, the Basic Education student committed suicide by
hanging himself in the uncompleted building on Vals Day after realizing
he had obtained 3Es in his examination.
According to the
University’s regulations, obtaining 3Es in an examination meant an
outright dismissal after grades have been displayed on the school’s
notice boards.
Some students who could not phantom why the
deceased committed suicide considering the fact that ‘the results could
be manipulated’ told 233 Live News the University management was to
blame for the unfortunate happening.“Why should someone’s world come to an end because he is unable to get 50% in an exams?” a student, Nana Kwasi Frimpong asked.

On
January 18, 2014, Adeleke, who is an apprentice meat seller at Tinubu
Market in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, allegedly added his name to a long list of
sexual predators walking the streets of Lagos.

That
day, which would change the life of 12-year-old Bisola (not real name)
forever, was when Adeleke ambushed the young girl and raped her for one
hour.
Adeleke was eventually arrested but in his attempt to
escape from the police custody, he was hit by a moving vehicle when he
ran across the road.
Adeleke’s boss supplies meat to Bisola’s
mother, a food vendor. It was learnt that the suspect had on occasions
delivered meat to the girl’s mother.
Giving detail of the incident, Bisola narrated;
“I
followed a friend to buy sugar in the market (she sells sugar to assist
her family) and when I was coming, he (Adeleke) told me to follow him
to their shop to collect meat for my mother. I followed him but I did
not enter the shop. There was nobody else around. It was after 7pm. He
told me to enter but I said he should bring out the meat. He then said I
should take the meat from the freezer. As I attempted to open the
freezer, he grabbed me and tied a cloth over my face and mouth. “He held
me down and pulled off my pants. He did not leave me until around
8.30pm. I could not shout. The place was dark.". Continue reading...................

You
probably already guessed the musician right before reading this. Over
90% of music fans and even the ones who don't fancy Naija dancehall jamz
would guess this one right!
Reigning
hip hop artiste and MTN brand ambassador, Iyanya Mbuk, seemed to have
highlighted what matters most to people during what is largely regarded
as the ‘season of love’.

While
interacting with fans on a celebrity twitter guest series via the MTN
Twitter handle, the “Kukere” master explained that the greatest gift
that can be given to anyone at Valentine is “true love”.

The
talented artiste made the statement when he was asked about his choice
of Valentine gift, by a tweep, on the celebrity guest series, regarding
the high demand for gifting during this period.
When asked about
the status of his love life, he vehemently pointed out that he is not
yet married and may not do so anytime soon. According to him, “God’s
time is the best’.
In the same vein, he admitted that he admired women and always checked out their waist as the first attraction.
This, he said, informed the title of his song, “Your Waist”.
The
MTN twitter handle has been enjoying overwhelming followership in
recent days as the build up towards Valentine intensifies among the
youth and couples who see the season as the best time to show deep
affection to friends, family and lovers.

Michelle Obama is one of the coolest First ladies ever.
The
wife to President of United States of America is always standing out
with her unusual free spirit and warm nature in every thing she does,
even in public.
She showed off her sweet and yet playful side once
more in the valentines message she shared to her husband, Barrack Obama
yesterday.
Although the message was short and witty, it was also
very cute, especially considering the goofy photos she posted along with
it. President Obama is certainly one lucky man.
Check out message and photos below;“Hey Barack, I’ll always be your valentine! #HappyValentinesDay –mo”

my acting career started.”
